Searchanise Search & Filter is gradually rolling out a new control panel to Shopify stores. During the rollout, some Shopify stores may still use the previous version. If switching is available for your store, you can try the new control panel and return to the previous version at any time. Learn how to identify your control panel version.
It’s possible to customize what information, sections, and widget elements to display to customers and how to show that in the Instant Search Widget. To do so, you should adjust the settings in the Searchanise Search & Filters control panel > Search & Navigation > Instant search widget section > Content tab.
In this article, you’ll learn how to change the settings and get a clarification on how each setting affects the Instant Search Widget content.
